Human Indecency

when the power goes out
I sleep on my own couch
I build a wall of clothes
tune out the sound of the phone
start smoking indoors
river of milk on the floor
I've memorized the walls
till there's no more missed calls
can't tell when days start or end
shutters closed all weekend
notes on the walls that don't make sense
when I speak, it could be my last sentence!
human indecency
when the light comes back,
horror of Babylon
a planned attack on panic,
all the milk will vanish
I spent a whole day asleep,
so now I'm caught up for the week
I'll propose to the kitchen sink,
and livestream as my balance shrinks
hummingbirds living under my roof
all my stories end far too soon
watch them flying against the windows
they'll keep coming, till I go
human indecency
I swear, I'm not mad at you (at least not anymore)
and I can't, for the hell of me, remember why I was
and I swear, I'm not mad at you; I'm mad at everyone!
since when was it so hard just to be a human being?

Another domino
Knocked over everyday
A new audition
for a part I already play
Watch myself live through a screen
Twenty four hour tv
The news man talks of severe storms
so eagerly
And the war drew
In the wardrobe
And the war drew
In the wardrobe
Practice my lines
For scenes that aren't shot
My lovers are all hotel walls
Cautious of how loud I talk
I never keep my receipts
When I buy friends I don't need
A foreign speaker with no translator
I can feel but cannot say
And the war drew
In the wardrobe
And the war drew
In the wardrobe
I think the receptionist is in love with me,
she left her number on my bed
and when I called her she told me
she'd give me anything I wanted
i asked her if she could make me fine again
i couldn't tell if she laughed or cried
then the dial tone chimed in
And the war drew
In the wardrobe
And the war drew
In the wardrobe

subscription, monthly loneliness
surgeon took the words out, words out your mouth
prescriptions, daily numbness
feeling happy only takes me further down
(are we clear?)
(clear!)
(crystal clear?)
works forty to get by, school instead of sleeping at night
(are we clear? hello?)
get out of town before the town gets you out
hopeless hoping
7 billion cigarettes
still try to make it work
subways burning
7 dollars and a half
for 1200 something breaths
then the rest just go to waste
catch me in my haze break
five-minute escape
go grocery window shopping
never felt less alive
(could you reset that last line?)
listening, daily news
same as everyday but new vocabulary’s used
hopeless hoping
7 billion cigarettes
still try to make it work
subways burning
7 dollars and a half
for 1200 something breaths
then the rest just go to waste
catch it in the haze break
five-minute escape
go grocery window shopping
never felt less alive
(could you reset that last line?)
